...pride myself in having combined Project HEALTH and Phillips Brooks House programs with my desire to see New England. I have spent afternoons in Roxbury and been to sites of local note from Mt. Monadnock to Battleship Cove. I have seen the Patriots Day reenactments in Lexington, the running of the Marathon, and been apple-picking in the fading days of fall. I know how walkably close State is to Copley, no matter how many stops and transfers getting there on the T would require...
...other side of the "Hate" coin, "Love and Rockets" returns with a strong first issue. Now would be the time to jump onto this battleship in the small pond of "alty" comix. Speaking from personal experience, it can become very difficult to pick up in the middle of a Hernandez brothers story...

...together and they fashion Wilde's brilliant Act Two confrontation scene into what is one of the high points of the evening's entertainment. Another image that remains indelibly in my mind is that of Lady Bracknell (Sarah deLima) and her daughter Gwendolen making their first entrance like a battleship with a cruiser in its wake; identical knife-edge profiles at the same angle, the daughter a lesser double of her terrible Mamma. The dialogue in all its sharp cut-glass, epigrammatic brittleness is for the most part well delivered and highly enjoyable...
